ZY Optics has a teaser on Facebook for a new Mitakon lens. Here are the clues:
#1 We are are going to launch another excellent lens in mid April. What do you think it's going to be? Take a wild guess!
HINTS: Canon, Nikon, Sony A, Pentax SLR users will absolutely love it!
#2 Continued to our last topic on the upcoming new lens, we have been asked for many times on the possibility to build a f/0.95 for SLR cameras (Nikon / Canon / Pentax/ Sony) after the launch of our 'Dark Knight' 50/0.95.
The answer is Yes or No. We can design a f/0.95 lens for SLR camera but we also need to take the sharpness/compactness into account. We do not want to build something just for the race of numbers.
So, the upcoming lens will NOT be a f/0.95. But it will be a HYPERPRIME.
#3 Continued to our last topic on the upcoming new lens, we can only locate ONE lens from Canon which has a similar specifications (same f stop and focal length) and it is pricing at $2,099 in B&H.
The only Canon lens priced at $2,099 at B&H is the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM.
Update: Canon recently had a price reduction on their lenses, so the $2,099 priced lens could also be the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM.
